👋 Hi, I'm Adrian ... cultural anthropologist, media personality, keynote speaker, and B2B podcast adviser.
I've been working at the intersection of SOUND and STORY since I was a kid.
My parents started an audio production company at home when I was three years old. My dad owned a radio station, and I began my broadcasting career in 1978, at the age of five, as a co-host of "The Happy Day Express," the longest-running children's radio program in California history.
I spent much of my 20s and 30s working in the Middle East and Africa as a researcher, journalist, storytelling consultant, media spokesperson, and aid worker for two of the largest humanitarian relief agencies in the world.
I've lived and worked in over 30 countries, delivered more than 1,500 stage presentations, and written two speeches that were presented to members of the United Nations Security Council.
I've given hundreds of media interviews that reached millions of people via major news outlets such as the BBC, CNN, NPR, Fox News, and the New York Times, as well as regional newspapers and radio stations throughout Europe and North America.
My international experience, rigorous academic training, and deep industry expertise have made me a sought-after speaker, trainer, and consultant.
Today I deliver engaging keynote speeches and workshops on creating a “culture of story” at work. I teach executives, managers, and teams to communicate more effectively and connect on a deeper level by asking better questions and telling better stories.
I've been active in podcasting since 2016. My podcast consulting agency, Speed of Story, specializes in podcast strategy, storytelling, and media training for the principals, partners, and marketing / business development leaders of professional firms.
